All you have to do is list the falsehoods conservatives believe that are taught to Fox viewers by Fox
Obama cell phones
Benghazi coverup
Obama’s birth certificate
Obama messed with the unemployment numbers to win an election
All of the election polls are skewed for Democrats-that's why Romney will win in a "landslide"
Voter fraud is a proven problem
Stimulus did not create a single job
Stimulus has no tax cuts
Obama is a muslim
Islamaphobia
Foreign trip to India will cost $200 million per day
Acorn assists child smuggling ring- which was a setup and later reported on all other stations as such except for Fox
Virtually anything Glenn Beck says, like Obama is a communist because he has a bunch of Czars, MSNBC headquarters was designed to appeal to communists (Fox is part of the same Kennedy center and designed the same way and by the same designers); Obama a secret Muslim and hates white people, etc.....
Yes, I know, they fired Beck and Palen and Morris and I think they fired Rove.... maybe they're returning to earth, because they realize what a circus reality-show like production they've become. I'll bet their return to reality, though, will kill their ratings. Their viewers will want the Jerry Springer-like show back! High ratings have nothing to do with quality.
In your opinion, you can say the same about MSNBC viewers, but none of our "myths" are anywhere near as patently asinine as those perpetrated by Fox News.
Here's my rundown:
Michael Steel
Steve Schmidt
Chris Mathews has a couple Republican analysts who's names escape me.
Joe Scarborough (and by the way, it’s his show. Do you have a liberal show on fox? MSNBC has a history of it:
Imus in the morning
Michael Savage)
At least half of Joe Scarborough regular guests
Mike Barnicle
Mike Murphy
Peggy Noonan
Pat Buccannan
Seems like John McCain shows up once a week
People without political affiliation:
Andrea Mitchell who interviews everybody everyday regardless of party
Dylan Jason Ratigan and Willie Geist are both avowed independants who often criticize Obama.
You're right, we don't have as many conservatives but I dispute that MSNBC is any more left leaning than Fox is right leaning. My strongest point is regarding accuracy and your channel is "misleading", to put it delicately.
By the way, I could have sworn I branded a couple of you posters weeks ago with your Fox viewership and it seems like nobody on this forum was prepared to confess. "Oh no, I don't watch Fox News". Typical.
